- $5,000 direct to tuition or gear. No middleman. Wired the day after selection.
- Selected by Founding Coaches. A panel of marquee O-line and D-line coaches from across the country picks.
- Brotherhood for life. Every recipient is a Founding Member with a numbered hoodie + their name engraved.
Who we serve
The lineman the system overlooks.
Underfunded programs
Rural schools and inner-city programs without sled budgets. We ship pads, blocking dummies, and helmet equipment grants.
Youth coaches
Volunteer line coaches who spend their own money on tape, film software, and travel. We reimburse the receipts.
How we fund the work
Four ways every dollar reaches a lineman.
5% of Trench Challenge entries
Every IRL event we host donates 5 cents on every entry-fee dollar straight to the Foundation.
100% Foundation SKU margin
A dedicated capsule of gear (look for the Foundation patch). Every cent of net revenue flows to the fund.
Round-up at checkout
Round your cart to the nearest $5. The difference goes to a kid you'll never meet but who'll wear your gift on his back.
Direct tax-deductible donations
From members, coaches, and individual donors — all tax-deductible once 501(c)(3) status is confirmed.
From the founder
“I spent 32 YEARS coaching kids whose families couldn't afford the camp. The Foundation is how I fix that.”
